There are lots of surprising guest in the episode but seeing Jang Hyuk even for a short while only is the best cameo ever. I was not anticipating, nor have I read about his cameo but seeing him there on the screen, after the episode ended was really epic for me.

Lol! And he was supposed to be Tak Ye Jin's ex-boyfriend! Chincha?!

The drama keeps on making me laugh at almost every scene. The irony of the situations are really funny. The mockery about the behind the scenes and the hard ways of working inside entertainment business are giving us insights as well as entertaining us at how everything works for them.

What makes the story interesting is the character of Baek Seung Chan and his naivety. Maybe it can also be called ignorance or innocence on his part being a rookie but seriously, how the writer of this drama creates his actions are fun to watch. I should be finding his actions and reactions to a situation predictable and cute at the same time, still, the scenarios where he is in, makes it more funny for viewers like me.

Like this imaginary/dream sequence he had which I thought was real, caused me laughing so hard. Because of his misunderstanding about the real relationship between PD Tak Ye Jin and PD Ra Joon Mo going to the same place, he thought that they are having an affair in the midst his [Joon Mo] relationship with Hye Joo. He dreamed of talking about it in a variety show and the two culprits were present.

This silliness of the story is refreshing for me because it brings pure entertainment that is unexpected. How naive and foolish Seung Chan can get in the story is something to anticipate. The way he acts on his feelings is childish but how can he stop from doing it when it is the only way to get his small revenge on these sunbaes that he thought were fooling around with each other.

I am beginning to understand the situation between Ye Jin and Joon Mo. There is something more between them but they have no yet discovered it themselves. Yes, the friendship is a disguise of a deeper feelings but sadly, Ye Jin is the only one nourishing the feelings inside her.

Because they see each other as friends, they are not even entertaining thoughts beyond their actions that are obvious. Like Ye Jin pestering him year after year about going and walking under cherry blossom trees. It should not be normal because that is what couples do who love romance, but she only asks him to do it with her.

It is sad that she is not in a relationship now but waiting for someone although she has no idea. Or maybe she has but afraid to admit it even to herself.

The team in 2 Days 1 Night is brainstorming on what concept is good for their next filming. Of course rookie Seung Chan has a brilliant idea, or maybe not. He started talking about the history of variety shows, Yes, he is smart in a bookish way. He does research. And his idea guided him to matchmaking. Of course, it was too cliche' or too ordinary for the team who is on the verge of loosing their airtime. His naivety makes him the target of snide remarks and mockery by his team. Even PD Joon Mo thinks he is out of this world to even suggest the theme.

So, in this episode, Ye Jin and Seung Chan's business about the scratched car issue is not over. The funny part, Ye Jin discovered something ridiculous which she can use against Seung Chan. He was asked to erase some recorded tapes and he literally erased the words on the tape. She chanced upon him and using the situation to somewhat ridicule him discreetly, taught him how to do it properly using a magnetic machine that will erase the entire recordings of a tape.

Of course, the situation was handled very well by Ye Jin. She told him she would pay him in installment and started giving him money. But the irony, after he accepted the money, she asked him to buy her something because she has not eaten breakfast. Yup, she is sending him to do errands and I wonder if the same money she offered will be used to buy her food? Cheeky and wise.

PD Ra Joon Mo asked what concept his program should do and surprisingly, the matchmaking suggestion of Seung Chan was approved heartily by his superior, which ironically Kim Tae Ho once again say, "I told you so.." This PD is cracking me up. He is the typical opportunist, making every situation in his favor.

I think the story is revealing how these PDs and staff are working hard but the pay is not enough to cover every little things their family wants and needs. To escape extra fees for special training or advanced language tutorials, he decided to ask around people in every big companies who offer the same training his daughter needs to help him accept the child.

Every rejection means he has the power to ask favors like idols guesting in a variety program under him. This kind of situation makes everyone connected in a company avoid him. How fast it is to relay information through mobile phones.

Something happened to Hani of EXID in the story so the team has to change her. But the problem was, the remaining guest will not commit themselves unless they know who will be the replacement. Again, Seung Chan suggested Cindy to be their guest. Actually it was awesome but he was tasked to call Cindy and persuade her. Good thing Cindy has not yet returned the umbrella he lent her. He was texting her the whole day before the team talked about Cindy. Cindy was beginning to think Seung Chan is just using the excuse of texting her because he likes her. But she soon found out, he is just as what he is. Only interested if she returned the umbrella because then he would pay a fine for returning it late.

Cindy is the typical brat who became like that because she was trained so hard it was her way to rebel. But actually, she seemed sad inside. Then there are anti Cindy fan cafe that insults her. This may be petty things netizens do vai internet but the result or damage to a certain idol is bigger than they thought. Emotionally and psychologically, their words will hurt and will leave scars to the one they hate.

Seung Chan met Cindy. He was trying to persuade her to guest in their program when the CEO arrived. She is Byeon Mi Sook and she is a scary one. A very difficult person to talk to. Joon Mo received a call about rookie PD talking with Mi Sook who seemed to be his enemy at one point. He went to fetch Seung Chan who got scolded. But in the midst of this drama, Cindy found herself liking Seung Chan. I think she has formed some thoughts that she will act upon.

That night, they had a drink. Seung Chan received soju from Tae Ho and Joon Mo. He became drunk. He was clutching the food he bought earlier for Ye Jin. He went to her to give the bag of food but due to his drunkenness, he lost consciousness and fell against Ye Jin.

Will the love line be tangled within these four character? Ye Jin is looking for love, will she misunderstand the situation?

For 16 episodes, viewers were treated to a good drama with lots of heart pounding scenes and at the same time lots of aegyo moments between our special and unique couple.

First will write some highlights leading to the final ending of our jjang villain that gave us the creepiest moments, Chef Kwon. For a villain, he is awesome. Scary and smart and until the end very cunning. But of course, he had to meet his bad fate in order to end the story.

Episode 19

And we thought that it was the end for Chef Kwon being caught red handed in the scene of the crime where Yeom Mi was lying unconscious. For that intense moment, Moo Gak was not able to stop himself from shooting him because he continuously provoked him by saying his sister's name. Outside police officers were already waiting. The books Chef Kwon collected from victims that wrote their autobiography for him were discovered. I think they were what make Chef Kwon justify his killings and what feeds his psychotic nature.

Yeom Mi recovered quickly. Chef Kwon was remaining silent even inside the interrogation room. He would not answer any questions. Moo Gak tried a trick that would make Chef Kwon end his silence. Moo Gak burned books that looks like the writings of his victims. That made Chef Kwon panic begging not to burn them and that he will answer everything. After the interrogation, he was turned to the prosecutors and from there they would be the one handling the case.

Case closed! Or so they thought! He and some police escorts riding a police car were soon in the news. Apparently the car due to traffic accident went down the water. The search began but a few days later, only 2 officers were found. The remaining 2 and Chef Kwon were presumed dead because they were not found out even the bodies.

It was not the end everyone wanted for Chef Kwon. It was too simple to pay for all his sins. I don't know but this was something that should give everyone chills or nagging thoughts that somehow the case is not closed.

Episode 20

Bride and groom are ready for their wedding day. Every one gathered in the place where the wedding will take place. The troupe, the police and some more friends are all excited. Moo Gak is waiting for his bride to walk in.

Yes, everyone's fears turned right. Chef Kwon appeared to kidnapped Cho Rim. He would settle the score with Moo Gak that day. It was Moo Gak he wanted. Cho Rim was juts the bait. But of course, once his plan goes well, he will kill Cho Rim. He hid her in the store where the same interior of their new house came from. Chef Kwon asked Moo Gak not to involved the police and go to Cho Rim's old house and wait for further instructions. Moo Gak felt every second was helpless and hopeless.

While Moo Gak tried to follow the instructions, Yeom Mi knew what he was up to. Cho Rim for once used her head when she was transferred into an ambulance to another van. A home made bomd was inside and it was for Moo Gak. As Chef Kwon was getting inside the van in the front, she scratched her ring on the bomb box then threw the ring outside, unnoticed.

That ring was found by Moo Gak at the place where the ambulance was tracked. The ring was turned into forensic team and that was when the team found out about the home made bomb.

Chef Kwon thought he placed the bomb safely inside the couple's new house and that Moo Gak will died once he step inside. The clinch, Yeom Mi had informed Moo Gak ahead of time about the bomb just as Moo Gak had noticed that the background where Cho Rim was in the video was not their actual home. So bomb expert went to the their house, blasted a fake bomb while Chef Kwon looked at the other building thinking Moo Gak died.

The fight happened at the rooftop of the building. It was another treacherous move by Chef Kwon, begging Moo Gak to spare his life. But he grabbed a handful of sand [yes, there were in the rooftop] and threw it on Moo Gak. The the steel bar Moo Gak had let go was now in Chef Kwon's hands, hitting Moo Gak. The fight continues. Moo Gak found himself being pushed by the bar towards the edge of the rooftop. By some miracle and maybe because of sheer power to survive, Moo Gak was able to turn around making Chef Kwon outbalance himself as he found himself the one on the edge of the rooftop, toppling over and onto the ground below, meeting his death.

Case Closed! For sure!

and the happy ending begins for our couple...

Episode 19

One of the best scenes were the imaginations of Moo Gak on how to propose to Cho Rim. They were all funny moments.

He prepared balloons inside the trunk of his car with a huge banner asking "Will you marry me?" The funny part though, as he left Cho Rim inside the cafe, he imagined the moment outside and the cute outcome, but the reality was that an accident happened when a car bumped into the car making the hood trunk opened as balloons flew up high. A good thing Cho Rim was not looking. But then, scratching this proposal scene, he proceeded to next one.

Walking at the park where a fountain was, he thought of making a public proposal with people feeling the romance. He urged her to walk by the fountain, only to be beaten by another couple having the same proposal scene. The irony, the girl was not amused or happy about it just as Cho Rim told Moo Gak how she dislike those kind of proposals.

Then another scenario he thought of. Burying the ring on the sand at some place at the park while pretending to have his shoelace untied, Of course, it was also a failed proposal. When the actual scene happened, he could not find the ring.

By the time I was writing this part I was actually giggling non stop. My gosh, this scene was really funny seeing Moo Gak like hen scratching the sand. LOL!!!! My 2 nieces who were sitting by my side looked at me as if I lost it already! Yup, my head!

Anyway to continue, although many attempts were done but the best proposal ever in K-dramaland and unique for that matter was done in this drama. With a perfume in his hand, Moo Gak ran away from Cho Rim and went to a bridge at the park and writing in the air against the dark skyline, scents coming from the perfume revealed the words Will You Marry Me?

The best proposal and the sweetest. And more as the wedding preparations continue. Wearing a beautiful head band she was a bride Moo Gak ever wanted. Of course, it was soured by the kidnapping. But hey, that was finished.

Episode 20

The funny part of the romance continue. The couple moved in in their new house. Together they furnish and arranged everything. He was very obedient of his wife as she instruct him what to do. There were hugging, kissing, more hugging, more aegyo moments. But the honeymoon keeps on being postponed.

The police team has another case and they need Cho Rim's help. Moo Gak who was very excited to wash, naughty thoughts filling his mind, after washing found the place empty, his wife gone. The downside of having the ability to see scents is lending help to the department to solve the case immediately. Moo Gak also went to interrogate suspects.

To cut the story short, the case was solved, thanks to the sensory couple. Oopppsss, did I forget to mention that Moo Gak has gotten back his senses? Yes, after Chef Kwon case he felt better.

The honeymoon and going to Thailand was shelved. Moo Gak is sulking. Cute! Next day they rode a bicycle with lots of balloons attached at the back. Cho Rim sat on the back arms around her husband. They rode around, teasing each other.

The final scene was worthy of appreciation. Sitting side by side at a bench, the sweetest and romantic couple continue to express their love for each other. The giggles of Cho Rim are adorable. Moo Gak is a husband contented.

Guess the story will continue on their own. But call of duty from the police team will always make them respond. After all, they thrive on solving cases and helping the team.

The ending of Sensory Couple is awesome. I as a viewer is satisfied. Nothing to ask for, although I wish there will be more next week. It was a fun ride watching the drama unfolds each week. The mystery, the intriguing and scary villain, the perfectly matched couple, the team, all are what made the drama interesting.

Goodbye Moo Gak and Cho Rim. Finally, Shin Se Kyung got a role that fitted her so much. Park Yoo Chun has shown a lot of aegyo here. He is becoming comfortable as an actor. Nam Goong Min is the best villain. The three police are ,like the three musketeers or the three stooges.
